Link to Player Record Sheets
I've left all of these together as a single document for simplicity sake. You might want to copy the information relevant to you and put it somewhere else.
General Information:
Soldier Attributes
Spoiler:
Agility: How many actions a Soldier gets each round of combat. This stat cannot be higher than 5
Evasion: The penalty enemies take when attacking this Soldier
Accuracy: Bonus to hit when attacking
Armor: Chance to negate a critical hit
Health: How many hits you can take before you die
Psionics: The ability of your soldier to utilize psionic power. This will be a hidden stat for each soldier until they undergo training to see if they have 'The Gift,' at which point will be revealed and may be increased.
Fatigue: Every time a soldier is wounded or comes back from a mission, they gain +1 Fatigue. Every time a soldier spends a turn not on a mission, they lose 2 Fatigue.
Every Fatigue a soldier has imposes a -1 penalty to both Evasion and Accuracy.
Talents: Miscellaneous beneficial abilities
*Some of these attributes can be modified by equipment loadout.
Aircraft Attributes
Spoiler:
Speed: Ability to maintain contact with a fleeing enemy, or to flee from a pursuing enemy
Evasion: Same as Soldier attribute
Accuracy: Same as Soldier attribute
Armor: Same as Soldier attribute
Health: Same as Soldier attribute
Weapon slots: The number of weapons this vehicle can have. Some weapons require more than one slot
Module slots: The number of modules (miscellaneous upgrades) a vehicle can have. Some modules require more than one slot
*Some of these attributes can be modified by equipment loadout or a skilled Pilot.
Science and Research
Spoiler:
Research Projects can be conducted by Science Teams. Each Science Team will have a level indicating how skilled they are.
Researching a new technology does not have a set amount of time, but the longer you work on it (and the better your Science Teams assigned to it are), the more likely you are to have a breakthrough.
There are not set Research Projects (i.e. you cannot research "Laser Weapons"). Instead, Teams will be assigned to make progress in a general field like "weapons" or "alien tactics." The specific things they learn will not be known to you until they are learned.
Salvage can be used to assist research. If a science team is working on "weapons" then any weapon-related salvage can be used to give them a +1 to their roll for that round. Using salvage this way will consume it,
and each science team can only gain this benefit once per round.
Autopsies are a little bit different from normal research. An autopsy always takes one turn and always gives new information about the stats of the autopsied enemy. Multiple autopsies will continue to give more information.
Combat
Spoiler:
Combat will use a simple d10 system. Actual rolls and specific mechanics will be hidden from the players to simulate the chaos of combat, but the various attributes listed above should give you an idea of what sorts of things are going on.
Critical hits will impose a random effect in addition to normal damage. This could be anything from extra damage to temporary stat penalties to (potentially) permanent penalties.
Upkeep
Spoiler:
Many things you can purchase will have an initial cost and an upkeep cost notated like so:
Aircraft Hanger $20/$2
So the Aircraft Hanger costs $20 to build (and will be ready in 4 turns), and after it is ready it costs $2 every turn to keep it running.
You cannot choose to not pay upkeep.
Things You Can Buy/Recruit/Build/Etc:
Anything that does not have a listed cost is free, and you are assumed to have an infinite supply.
Personnel

Soldier ranks are not actual military ranks, but are used to indicate experience in combating the alien threat.
